John F, <I think you are looking through rose colored glasses, assuming Intel is standing still while AMD is on the move.>

What do you see on the horizon before mid 2001 that's going to give AMD trouble?

P4 - large die size and RDRAM cost until mid 2001
P3 - 0.18 process has been tweaked to death and I don't believe there's much room for clock speed improvement (until the 0.13 version)

The truth about Pentium 4: A 1.5GHz Pentium 4 system was then tested against an 800MHz Pentium III system in video capture. The 1.5GHz Pentium 4-based system was able to capture more frames of video than the system with the 800MHz Pentium III chip.

A demo like this confirms that a 1.5 GHz P4 will not outperform even a 1 GHz P3. And video encoding is something that should be a strong point of the P4.
